I am so so sorry. I'm sitting in my barn watching this in front of my Giselle's stall who I had to make the same decision for sobbing for you and my girl. When Beverly brayed at the end, my 3 donkeys, who were eating their hay in Giselle's stall, brayed so loud to tell Beverly she would be ok. I wish I would have recorded it. It was so beautiful. RIP Beautiful Dixie. You will be missed by so many. Jami and Lester, you will be in my prayers 🙏 💔
Beverly’s cry when Dixie passed is so heartbreaking. We love our fur babies. I’m so sorry about Dixie. What a beautiful memorial. She was ready. It’s so hard to do the right thing. I am crying along with you. 💔
Jami I began to cry from the moment you sang Country Roads and by the time Beverly said her final goodbye I was full on bawling. You were the best mom to Dixie and Beverly was the best friend. You gave her her best life and a dignified trip over the Rainbow bridge. You know all the friends were waiting to welcome her home and she is running pain free through the green, green pastures up there. Free at last. I’m praying for you now and Beverly. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌈💜
Me too!!! I haven't really stopped. I had to cancel plans yesterday & today as my eyes are to swollen & puffy to leave my house. Beverly crying out at the end broke me even more!!! 😭😭💔💔 My heart aches & breaks for Jami, Beverly & Lester. Sending tons of love to LHL!!!!!❤❤
I’m crying for all of you! So glad Beverly was there to say goodbye. You’ve given Dixie the ultimate gift of love by letting her go. May you be at peace, Jami. Goodbye, Dixie! You’re free! Run, run, run! Thank you for sharing this with us, Jami. We needed this, too.
Jami, we needed this SO much. You're so unselfish sharing this with us. We know your pain is deep. You've done the single most unselfish thing by helping Dixie cross. She's whole, happy & running like the wind now.
I am sitting here crying like a baby, but when I saw Beverly’s tears I couldn’t stop crying 😭. She is running free over the rainbow bridge. We will miss her so much.
I haven't cried like that for a long while. My heart aches for all of you. Beautiful Beautiful Dixie, thank you for sharing your life with us.🎉 ❤ Run free girl. Free from pain. Your family here will be ok. Poor Bev, when she cried out....I will pray for her and all of you. Jami, I am proud of you. Putting down cats is hard but I can only imagine a big majestic horse. That took some guts. Love you, girl.❤❤❤
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful horse. Seeing her run through the pasture when she first got to LHL was so incredibly special. She was just enjoying her life!! She had the best care and the most love a horse could have. Thank you for sharing her journey with us.
I'm so sorry, Jami. Dixie was tired...she was ready to run in a bigger pasture across the rainbow bridge. You did the right thing out of pure love. Sending you love & prayers as I sob with you.😢🌈💖🙏 I have to add, this is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. You did her proud! Please hug Beverly for me.
We sure don’t give animals enough credit. Voodoo treating Dixie the way he did on your video yesterday, and now Beverly crying out for her friend in todays video. Thank you for sharing, hugs to you all. I know my heaven will be filled with all of my babies that I have lost and yours will too.
Jami, I am so sorry that Dixie has crossed the rainbow bridge . You're the most amazing lady. I know how difficult this time has been for you. Know that we are still praying for you and Beverly as well. You both need comforting from those around you. 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jami , I'm so sorry for your loss. Dixie was an amazing horse and friend. She will be running and grazing with her friends that were taken before her. She is now your guardian Horse Angel.🐴🐎
Jamie you have a beautiful voice. You could look at Dixie and see how relaxed she was while you were singing. I was not prepared for how I would feel watching this but when Beverly cried out it broke my heart. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you all. RIP Dixie girl 🐴🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
You have an invisible army of support behind you, Jami. We might not be there with you in person but we're there in spirit. I lit a candle for Dixie last night. May she rest in peace.
Oh Jamie, my heart goes out to you. I'm blubbering and Dixie is not even mine. It is NEVER an easy thing to do. When Beverly cried, I wailed. Hugs to you and Lester as you mourn your beloved Dixie. ❤
Me too I'm bawling my eyes out . I had to put a couple dogs down . 1 was old ..well both were old. One had a blockage . It hurts .My prayers and thoughts are with you all and poor Beverly...I k ow you will help her through. Give her an extra kiss and hug from me. And Lester give Jamie a big hug from me as well. I've been a follower since the beginning. I try to follow you all but I must say I see more videos from ima survivor ,from suits to boots and longhorn Lester's. I love you all ..stay strong. All my best to you all
Me too even worse broke me :( i lost my support kitty who was with me and only her with the cancer even left me she didn't and she got cancer and i failed her because im on disabilty from rhe cancer and couldn't help her and it broke me been since Jan. So this is so raw and poor Beverly loved her girl.
Ohhhhh Bev broke my heart in multiple pieces with her braying. Run free Sweet Dixie, no more pain. Jami there are no words that can make this easier, just remember we all love you, Lester, Bev and Dixie. Sending hugs, love and prayers to you all, always❤️🥰❤️
Me too. I was teary eyed, but when Beverly brayed like that, I lost it. My sister’s vet told her when it was time to put her old dog down, to bring her other dog with her to be there when he passed. She did and it helped Libby understand why her brother was not coming back home. I think Bev understood exactly what she was seeing and she cried.
She was ready... she looked so tired. Still hard to have to make that decision. Poor Beverly... she is gonna miss her friend. We will all miss Dixie, but she is now pain free and able to run with the wind in her hair. ❤❤❤
Seeing Beverly cry is one of the most emotional expressions of grief I have ever seen . Poor baby Bev. She is the bestest friend a horse could have. 💔😢🥺
My heart breaks, Jami and Lester.🥲 And, to hear Beverly braying for her friend even choked me up more. 🥲I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful Dixie. Rest in Peace sweet girl.❤️🙏🏻
Bev's little cry at the end broke me. It is a struggle to make this choice, the choice between what is right and what is selfish. Allowing our fur/feathered/scaly/other friends to leave a life of debilitating pain peacefully, while surrounded by those who love and cherish them, is a blessing.
Run free in the heavens Dixie! ❤🐎🌹☁ My heart goes out to you Jamie, Lester & Beverly! Love you all and many,many prayers!😭❤🙏🙏🙏🙏Thank you for sharing with us all. Cried so hard right along with you all😭God bless you all!🙏
Can hardly type through the tears! Such a beautiful video, especially the footage of her running so carefree about the pasture of LHL's! She is running extra carefree today about the rich green grass pastures of Heaven and Uncle Raleigh has greeted her with open arms at the rainbow bridge! She'll be waiting there for you, Jami and Lester, and for Bev, Voodoo, and all of her ISS and LHL friends. I picture her and Journey running so carefree, without pain or limps to their gates! She is free and your very hard decision to let her go was the right one, despite how very hard it was to make. You are so courageous and loving, Jami! You loved her fiercely and with so much compassion along her life's journey! She knew how very much she was loved and treasured. Lester taking off his hat to honor and pay his respect was beautiful. Bev's bray at the end was such a different one and so heart wrenching the gutted sounds that she made. I pray that Bev will be okay and that you and Lester will be as well. Time will heal you although the pain never fully goes away. Grief is the price of love, but, I know you wouldn't have missed loving your sweet girl for nothing! May God bless you, Lester, Bev, Voodoo, and all the babies as you grieve heavily the loss of your sweet girl. We loved her too and will so miss seeing her in the LHL pastures! Fly high sweet girl, fly high! Sending love, prayers, and hugs as you mourn your great loss of your sweet Dixie! You truly gave her her best life! Sending blessings to you all! May God hold you tightly in His arms of great love, compassion, strength, and comfort!
This is the ultimate sacrifice of love, Jami. You and Dixie both knew it was time. You share a bond which will never be broken and you'll see each other again. You are loved by so many, Jami. Thousands of us are sending love to you. 💞💞💞🕊️🕊️🕊️
That was a beautiful tribute to Dixie. My favorite all time video has always been the one when Dixie first arrived at LHL. I cried watching seeing how happy she was to be there. We will remember her always.💔
My heart hurts listening to Beverly . I was sad, but Beverly put me over the edge. Jamie you have so much love to give these babies, thank you for taking care of Dixie from all of us. Peace be with all.
You could see in Dixie's eyes she was ready. A beautiful tribute video to her. I cried through it all but really lost it when Beverly cried. Bless you all.
I have cried the past two days. When Beverly cried, it broke me. I dread the day I may have to make the same decision for Sky. She completes me and has taught me so much and helped me with my Mother's passing. Prayers for all of you.
Thank you for such a wonderful tribute to Dixie. I sat here crying along with you Jami. She's running around with all of her friends now and is pain free. My thoughts and prayers are with you Jami and Lester & sweet Beverly 💔😭
That was a beautiful tribute to an amazing horse, Dixie! My heart is heavy as tears pour down my cheeks, but I know she is out of pain and running free, thank you for sharing this with us the folks who love your babies just as if they were ours. God bless you all, my thoughts and prayers are with you.❤
To Jami, Lester, aunt Johanne, miss Pat, Beverley and whoever else was touched by Dixie’s soul, We pray for those who are left behind, that they would find comfort and hope in your loving arms. Grant them the strength and courage they need to face this difficult time, and may they find peace and healing.
Sobbing, to think Dixie ran free in pastures of LHL a year ago, now running free in heaven. Thank you Jami for all the care you gave your good friend ❤
You could always see the Love and trust that Dixie has for you Jami you two definitely were connected and she will be with you forever ❤ We will miss you Dixie
I can't stop crying! It really hit hard when Beverly started crying. We're all thinking about you Jami & Lester. You did the right thing for Dixie. She is at peace now running with all the animals that have left you all. Thank you all for sharing your lives, we LOVE all your babies.
Sweet Jami girl, there is nothing more special than the love between a woman and her horse (besides the love of a daddy & his Maggie girl ❤️) Big strong loving hug to all of you (Jami Lester & little Bev.) for gifting Dixie with the angel wings of flight. Thank you for sharing this journey with all of us that love you guys and support all the amazing things you all do. Love to everyone ❤️
That was incredibly emotional. Dixie was loved by so many, Jami. She couldn't have picked a better soul mate & just know she'll be watching over you & will be with you in spirit. Bev's wail at the end? Wow. 💔💜💜🐎 Run fast & free Dixie girl.
That was beautiful and very touching. Saying goodbye to your special friend. Watching her run free in the pastures was so beautiful. Run Free now Dixie. Beverly crying out just put me over the edge.
Dixie majestically crossed over the Bridge with dignity head held high💕 A deep dedicated love from friend to friend shared memories of fun times (difficult sad times too). I will forever see Dixie gracefully running in the Bigs pasture, her pasture, happy, healthy and free. This is where I would love to see her buried. High on the hill looking down to entrance of LHL, and eventually a monument on site of a regal Dixie in remembrance 🙏🏻 Condolences to you Jami. Time of grief never can be limited, as memories are ever lasting. Some will bring joy, laughter, longing, tears and peace. Hold on to all, I know from a distance, I will.🙏🏻🕊🕊
Dixie running free for the first time at LHL is the image I will keep of her always! And Bev sending Dixie off with those helpless screams, are the rest of us! GOD BLESS! 💔🙏✝️
For one that has been there I feel your pain and heartbreak. You did the right thing for sweet Dixie. Thank you for sharing so we could say goodbye too. Run free Dixie. 🐎 🌈❤
Bev’s call and tears at the end really got me! I went from 😢 to 😭😭😭😭 instantly. Unfortunately, it seems as though the animals who have seen the worst of the worst make the best companions and caregivers when they find their person! Our 13 year old pitbull is at the end of her time with us, but in her prime she was my sidekick who acted as my service dog despite being rescued and not being trained to be a service dog. She would lay with me and alert my mom any time my iv pump or feeding pump would make a noise and stand by my side during central line dressing changes and made sure I was okay. It is truly amazing how animals who see horrendous things in their lives have the ability to forgive humans who have wronged them or overcome the trauma they’ve encountered while helping their humans overcome the trauma they’ve endured. I commend you for your selflessness as we are still struggling to come to terms with what will be in our future as we begin to have to face saying see you later to our incredible pitbull who truly has been a once in a lifetime dog despite her now doggy dementia. Sending love your way!❤
What a beautiful farewell Jami. Making this decision was the hardest, bravest most selfless thing you could do for her. We love you Jami. Run Dixie Run!
What a beautiful tribute to the sweetest girl. Such a gentle, loving goodbye. You did everything you could, and yes, it was time. We love you all. Thank you for including us in such a wonderful, tender way.
You gave her the perfect home, great friends, Beverly especially and I am so sorry for your family’s sadness today. Thank you for Dixie’s Beautiful Tribute! God Bless you all!🙏🙏🙏
That was beautiful the way you let Dixie cross over the rainbow 🌈 bridge and to let Beverly say her goodbyes to her best friend. Prayers to Jamie and Lester 🙏😘❤️🌈
Wow! What a touching tribute to Dixie! She was a special girl! She went through a lot in her lifetime. A lot of good things and some bad! But she had some awesome friends, you,Jaime and Beverly and Lester to be by her side during the toughest times at the end of her beautiful life! Beverly was so sad but yet you could tell that she was relieved for Dixie to be at peace now! She made me cry at the end because of all the emotion in that donkey bray she did! She was so sweet to be by Dixie’s side through it all! I can just see Dixie galloping with the wind in her mane and the sun shining down on her up to heaven! She is free! Hugs to all of you! Take care of each other!
That was so heartbreaking and I totally lost it seeing Beverly start wailing over her best friend. My thoughts and prayer go out to you and Lester. That was such a beautiful way to send her off. By seeing her run❤❤❤🐎🐴Dixie will be missed so very much.❤
So so sorry Jamie, but you did the right thing for Dixie. I just cried like a baby when watching Beverly, it broke my heart. YES animals do have feelings.🐎Run free Dixie. Hugs Jamie and Lester
No more pain Dixie. You brought so much joy to Jamie and she loved you so much. We will all miss you very much and feel Jamie and Lesters grief. You are now at peace!
Jamie my heart is breaking for you, Bev, and Lester. Just know that your sweet Dixie has crossed the Rainbow Bridge and is now pain free. Hugs and prayers for you.
Jami! I started crying the minute u started to sing to sweet Dixie. Even though it’s the most difficult decision that u and Lester had to make u certainly did the right thing by her. “Fly Free Dixie Girl” and go join Pebbles over the Rainbow Bridge.🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Oh Jami. Such a beautiful tribute to Dixie. She knows how much you loved her, what you did for her and the other animals is just amazing. The way Voodoo took care of her and Beverly crying for her friend. We share the same emotions as I can't stop crying as well. Dixie will always be with us, she'll run free through the pastures. God Bless you all. We love you.
This is hard to watch. I 😢😢😢 cry just at the thought of saying "farewell Dixie. We all love you too. Rest our sweet girl, rest pain-free. Dixie, you will be greatly missed. We feel your pain too Beverly.
There is almost nothing harder than having to say goodbye to our beloved fury friends. Even when it's absolutely 100%, the right thing to do, it's devastating. The grief we feel is equal to the love they gave us, and that is immense. Rest in the sweetest peace over the Rainbow Bridge Dixie girl, with endless meadows of the sweetest grass. You were so loved and will be so missed. ❤
Thank you for sharing that with us. Seeing Lester take his hat off to pay respects and hearing Bev cry about did me in. I'm so sorry you're hurting. Run free, Dixie girl! Run free!
Jami, Dixie was very lucky to have you as her Mom. You showed her unconditional love, and never left her side when she needed you the most. Dixie is running free, with no more pain. Dixie was greeted by all her friends and is looking North to her home. Be easy on yourself Jami, and Lester is your soft place to fall and tell you that it's going to be ok. Nothing will replace Dixie in your heart, but you have thousands of subscribers that stand with you and when you need a virtual hug, we all got you!!🐎💞
Jami, thank you for sharing this video with us. 😢😔 I remember just how special Dixie has to you and Lester. I thought that it was so great that Uncle Raleigh shared Dixie with you and that you received Dixie as a birthday present. You two have become special friends. Beverly's reaction at the end was so gut wrenching as she called out for Dixie. Remember that everyone is praying for you, Lester, Beverly, Ivy, Voodoo, Buccee and the rest of the family and farm animals. We definitely love all of you! ❤😢❤😢🙏🙏🙏🙏
Our animals leave imprints on our hearts that will never be erased. This tribute was a gift to the memories and love you shared with such a beautiful and special fur baby. May love and light surround you.❤🌈✨
Run Free Dixie, RiP now with all those that have gone before you. Beverly crying for your passing but I know she'll be alright in your care Lester and Jami. Thank you for including us in her final moments . Awesome video of Dixie running Free. Hugs and prayers for you Jami and Lester. I will miss Dixie very much...
Jami my heart breaks for you. Beverly at the end was almost more than my heart could take... 😭 Thank you for sharing her with us, and for allowing us to say "see you later" to her too. I hope you, Beverly, Lester & the other babies find peace in the upcoming days. I'm going to remember the footage of her running freely and with such majestic grace & know that's what she'll be doing until she meets you at the Bridge. Love & Prayers
I'm crying with you Jami. You made the right decision. Dixie is now at peace and is running free without any pain. My heart breaks for you and for Beverly but I know you're going to be okay. My thoughts and prayers are with you. RIP Dixie. Run free baby girl! 💜🐎🐎
She loved you so much Jamie. Poor Beverly! What a wonderful last day you gave her. She knew it was time. It never is easy helping our babies go. God bless you Jamie and Lester
This was a BEAUTIFUL tribute to Dixie & your love for her. I'm sure there were a lot of tears while making it. I can feel the love that Beverly had for her, and know that she'll miss her buddy. Thank you for letting us go along, to say goodbye to our friend. Take all the time you need to mourn. We'll be here when you're ready to share how Beverly is coping & how Voodoo is helping her. Losing a big part of your heart/soul is catastrophic, and it may take awhile for the "It's fine/it'll be fine" voice to return. Know that we love you & are hurting right along side of you. Take care of yourself during this next chapter of your life. Thanks again for letting us see Dixie running along the fence/in the big pasture, as she makes her way HOME....LOVE YOU~
Jami and Lester, I’m so sorry for the loss of Dixie. I was balling my eyes out watching the video. Thank you for including us. We love you all and the animals and you did a remarkable job in honoring Dixie. Your video was a true tribute and very tasteful and classy. I lost it again when Beverly was braying. Voodoo will look after her and hopefully Ivy and Beverly will become friends.
I cried so hard watching this my cat started meowing at me, she was making sure I was ok. I feel the headache losing an animal that means the world to you. Much love to every at ISS and LHL.
RIP Sweet Dixie. Run free with your friends you lost during hurricane Harvey, and those that have passed since. Tell your stories about your best friend Beverly, those crazy boys Voodoo and Buckies. How you had the best Mama and just how much you loved each other. Jami, my deepest condolences to you and Lester. The love that you show to so many animals is nothing short of amazing. Dixie will always be with you. Every time you look for her and don’t see her, she’ll be right beside you instead, and forever in your heart. God bless, lots of love 💗
I was already crying crocodile tears, then when Beverly started crying at the end… I cried out with her 😭😭😭 Jami, my broken heart 💔 goes out to you. Your decision was a hard one, although you knew it was time to let Dixie go. You’ll miss her, Beverly will miss her, and we’ll miss her. Thank you for allowing Beverly to be there with Dixie, so now she’ll be able to mourn Dixie’s passing. God bless you Jami 💔🙏🏻🫂
Petting her face and forelock reminds me of petting my 3 little daughters’ faces and they feel so content their eyes just can’t stay open in comfort. Such a sweet tired old baby. 😢
